I'll face reality at five o'clock
Veracity's survived amidst a total crock
Got all day to escape maybe delay my hark
May not have hit rock bottom but the depths are stark
I want to feel more free and open
Write and sing more melodies than Chopin
My haunting memories try copin'
Well, as far as that goes, I'm still hopin'
I'll face reality at five o'clock
If I arrive a bit past five it's no real shock
I've got a track record that clearly shows
What I'll do at 5 for certain no one knows, but
I want to feel more free and open
Write and sing more melodies than Chopin
My haunting memories try copin'
Well, as far as that goes, I'm still hopin'
That I'll choose to overcome my fear
That I'll start to listen when I hear
When I say that at five today
I'll actively handle me with care
I still want all life has to offer
I want to win one in a laugher
I want to fall in love forever
Well as far as they go may be never, 'til
I face reality square in the eye
Complacency can't keep me from my truthful try
One step at a time I'll climb each building block
When I face reality at five o'clock
